Once extended, do the sections freely rotate or do they stay aligned? That is, if I loosen and extend a section can that section rotate or is it restr

Sorry can't answer your question decided not to use it.Felt it was a little to light weight for me. Gave it to my son.

It follows a grove in the shaft. So, no it does not rotate in any way. It would be fairly easy to rotate the entire monopod however. The base has a steel tip and could be used to rotate the monopod.

No it doesn't rotate. But you just rotate the whole monopod as one piece. The individual sections do not rotate individuallly. Good monopod though.

The sections DO NOT rotate. There is a narrow "track" that runs vertical on each section which keeps it aligned. My old monopod did not have that and it would rotate.

Rotates freely... Non issue when using as a stand on a surface or lap really. I only notice if it rotates slightly when folded over and reading holding it in my hand.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

When you want to extend the legs for example, you will have to loosen each "clamp". There is no type of segment that will loosen them all. This is not as hard as it sounds. I would definitely recommend this product for a easy tripod you can carry and travel easy with. I have had this tripod for probably 6+ months and I am absolutely happy with it. Hope this answerd your question.

You actually have to insert a wire expander for it to hold its shape and after that they will continue to hold their shape, even without hanging. However, because the expander extends the ends slightly, they may not stand up perfectly straight, but instead may lean a little bit. They will stay standing, however. Also, if color is important just be weary because they are randomly chosen and put in a box. I got 3/8 of the same color only in a slightly lighter shade.

The arms will still rotate out. I think what was meant is... they are fixed in that they attach just like the existing arm simply by removing the screws from the existing and reuse the screws to reattach the new ones.

If you play with the adjusters a little you should be able to align them properly. Don't tighten everything completely until they're squared up.

you can move them, but they stay in the bent position.... no "to infinity and beyond" position, sadly.

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

There are 2 screws on the back that can be tightened to lock the rotation at a desired angle. Or, leave them loose to have it rotate freely.

Just used mine yesterday - I extended it out and gave a little twist - it never moved on me while I was using it - twisted it back and collapsed it when I was done

No, this particuliar model rotates freely around the post. Handy when you need to hurriedly detach and reattach. Fwiw, these work quite well...use 24 hr epoxy to set the mounts though...the 5 minute stuff doesn't cut it...you trade set up time for strength I guess...anyway, lesson learned.

Yes. Each section can be removed completely. Each section can lock into a 90 degree angle with a plastic cap it comes with. You can even make a circle with the sections if you do not use the plastic caps to lock it down. You can use 2 sections or all of them how you like.

Yes, these are designed to rotate/pivot to give you some flexibility in location. It would be nice if we could lock them in place though. Good question!!

No, none of the sections spin. I thought it'd be nice if it did for easier retrieval for things in the back. I have it standing away from the wall more than I care for but then I figure it's only during the winter and I can put up with that. The rack is definitely worth the money though.

When you loosen the main jaws, they are then able to rotate. There is a little marking band for accurate angle settings. I personally wish there was a way to loosen the jaws without it rotating. Gets a little tricky with heavier items.

Mine does not move during operation but make sure when you join the magnets that the magnets are aligned. I don't know of a better way to describe this but you can feel resistance when you join them and they are not aligned. Then, over time they will align "twisting" themselves to line up.
